I moved down to this area in January, this year has been ridicules trying to find a permanent place to live and work from. I was given notice 3 days ago that I have to move out by the 1st, this is going to make the 5th time I had to secure a new place to live and a new place to build my cabinetry out of this year. My credit is bad, I have been self employed for many years which also doesn’t look good on paper, and I have two cats that are like my children so I’m not parting with them, which makes it even harder trying to find an appropriate place that will accept them. I’ve had to live in some very horrible places this year, and it’s going to take some time to heal from what I’ve been exposed to.

I have an ap filled out for a place that would be perfect, waiting to hear back from them, and have followed up on several leads from Craigs list, so have been doing the leg work. I’m asking for prayers now for strength to endure this time of need and to have faith that God will take care of me and that he finds a way within his mercy to help me find a place that will be usable and long term.

O Lord, Holy Father, omnipotent and eternal God, I give You thanks and I bless Your holy name. I know I’m a poor miserable sinner but hear a cause that is just, pay heed to my cry, turn your ear to my prayer, no deceit is on my lips. Amen

Continued prayers for your intentions….

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls into Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.

I guess you haven’t heard back yet about the place you applied for.
It can be tough being self-employed. My eldest son is, has his own business he built up, with some very lean times…even still, when people are slow to pay their bills…or he’s late on his paperwork and doesn’t put in an invoice soon enough!

I ask the Lord to help you with a stable situation soon. Joseph, who knews so well the needs of carpenters, please pray for this carpenter

Thank you all for your prayers. I talked to the potential landlord on that one ap today, she has been busy so had not made the follow up’s on the references I posted yet but she did express that this looks like a perfect situation for both of us, so opted to start on that process today regardless. I have to wait until Monday most likely to see what her decision is to be, meanwhile I still have other leads to follow up upon in case it doesn’t work out there, just I feel that initial place would be so nice and best suited to what I want, I’m hoping it comes through. God is doing some tremendous things in my life to help me through this, praise his name!

Lord, please help Prodigalson12 to find a place that will be usable and long term. Grant him the strength and perseverence he needs to endure this time of trial. May he place all his confidence in your merciful love and be completely surrendered to your merciful love. May he draw great graces from receiving you frequently in the Sacraments and find comfort and strength through daily prayer. Keep Prodigalson12 faithful and ever trusting in you, and never let him be separated from you. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.

O my God, relying on your almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon for my sins, the help of your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of J esus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers from the bottom of my heart. I was paid a visit by the owner of the first place I checked out, the setting was perfect, the scenery is breathtaking, very much out in the country, quiet setting, and the place seemed to be made for me, it is just perfect and was my first pick. She confirmed that I have secured the place, and now I’m making the plans and setting things in place for the move and signing the lease paperwork later this week, and will be able to start moving near the mid/end of it.

What I’ve learned, right now, in my life, I have some very wonderful prayer warriors in my world, times like this is where they all seem to come out of the woodwork. I’ve learned that God has far better for us, that we should trust in him to take care of us and let him work within our lives for our greater good.

I now have a nicer shop, much nicer, living quarters, be it small, and I actually prefer it that way, that are all my own and not shared at all, so I can live my life unabated and make it my own exclusive little place to honestly call my home, well, 2nd home, the church is my first and always will be, no matter what part of the world I reside at.

Hail, Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
